About the episode
On the Executive Access podcast, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand looks back on the franchise-altering trade for the Astros as they acquired Justin Verlander from the Tigers just before the August 31 Waiver Trade Deadline. Houston starter Dallas Keuchel revisits the frustration in the Astros’ clubhouse after the front office declined to make a splash acquisition in July. General manager Jeff Luhnow recounts the minute-by-minute negotiations of a complicated transaction that nearly fell through several times. Finally, Verlander himself explains his decision to accept a move to Houston with only minutes to spare. Learn more about your ad choices.
